How to return values from an object in an array

So I wanted to know how to return object values that are in arrays. So if you make an array called “arr”, and you make 3 objects inside. How do you return the variables stored in the 3 objects?

Rishan [da_coder, semi-active] First get objects from array like this: for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) { var obj = arr[i]; ) Then get objects value like this: for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) { var obj = arr[i]; var v1 = obj.v1; var v2 = obj.v2; ) See the example here: https://code.sololearn.com/Wk9Wo4YTuRDw/?ref=app

your question lacks of details... what is your use case exactly? does your array contains object wich same constructor and not modified? what to do if same property names in 2 or more objects? do you want a flat list (array) of all values without their key? or an object with all keys/values pairs? by overriding same keys or using array as value?

Martin Taylor no need, but assigning one object to a variable only make a copy by reference ^^ it may improve the readability of the code ;)

Martin Taylor yes, until property values are also objects, in wich case properties are also copied by reference... you right: that's a matter of opinion... but the memory footprint /efficiency is a slightly difference... all the more that accessing array will have a slightler less efficient than a local var. In fact, we doesn't even know how implementation of js engine handle that under the hood, and could even create a temporal copy of the object to access it rather than computong the array slot memory address for each access. var obj = arr[i]; var v1 = obj.v1; var v2 = obj.v2; could be more readable as you give var meaningful names, and above all if you do more than just console.log ^^ however if your target is code shortness, arr[i] could be a few short... but if your target is efficiency, don't rely on js, as micro-optimization is quite impossible, due to difference of implementation between each browser engines/platform ;P

pairs = {1: "apple", "orange": [2, 3, 4], True: False, 12: "True", } print(pairs.get(1, 42)) why is it giving False as output

sanu kumar Because in python 1 means True so dictionary key 1 will be override by key True

sanu kumar 1 can be use but if you use True also after key 1 then 1 will be override by True same as opposite True will be override by 1

sanu kumar You should always ask separate question not in someone else question.
